Popis: The petroleum ether extract of Iris domestica (Belamcanda chinensis) has been evaluated for activity against Trypanosoma brucei. Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation of four known iridals as the active components. Chemical modification of these isolates afforded novel stable derivatives that maintained bioactivity. This is the first known report of the antitrypanosomal activity of these compounds.
